His work includes the 2003 film A Manitoba Apart and the creation of the television drama Prison Break, for which he was also credited as an executive producer and head writer After working on 36K in 2000 and A Manitoba Apart in 2003, Scheuring made his first attempt to be a television show writer After developing an idea given to him by a female colleague into a miniseries screenplay called Prison Break, he approached the Fox network with the script but was turned down due to its unconventional storyline.
However, in 2004, after the successful premiere of Lost, Fox backed Prison Break"s production and the first episode was aired approximately twenty months after Scheuring had written the script.
